When many people compete in the workplace, what should the weak do right?

The three countries are divided, and the gunmen are confronted.

In a game, three gunmen A, B and C who hate each other are ready to fight. A's marksmanship is the best, and he can hit eight out of ten shots; The second marksmanship, ten shots can be six; C is the worst sharpshooter, with only four shots out of ten. After the duel, I want to ask: if three people shoot at the same time, and each person only shoots one shot, who has a better chance of survival? Usually, people think that A is an excellent sharpshooter and has a better chance of survival. However, this is not a reasonable conclusion. In fact, the worst sharpshooter C has the greatest chance of surviving. Some people will find it incredible, so let's analyze each gunman's strategy:

First, gunner A must shoot gunner B first. Because B's threat to A is greater than C's threat to A, A should kill B first, which is A's best strategy ... Similarly, shooter B's best strategy is to aim at armor with the first shot. Once b kills a, b and c will have a showdown, and the probability of b winning is naturally much greater. And what is the best strategy of shooter c? Yes, that's shooting at A. B's marksmanship is much worse than A's. C kills A first and then fights B. The survival probability of C is still relatively high. In this case, let's look at the survival chances of the three gunmen.

A: 40%, 60% = 24% consists of B and C.

B: 100%-80%=20% was hit by armor.

C: nobody made a bid. C 100%

Through the above analysis and probability comparison, we find that C, the worst sharpshooter, has the greatest chance of survival, while A and B, which are better sharpshooters than C, have a much lower chance of survival. In fact, this is the most consistent conclusion with the rules and logic of the game field. Now, let's change the rules of the game What if A, B and C don't shoot at the same time, but take turns to shoot? Suppose the shooting sequence is A, B and C, at this time, A has an 80% chance to kill B with one shot. If this shot is successful, it will be C's turn to shoot, and C has a 40% chance to kill A with one shot. Even if B dodges A's first shot and it's B's turn to shoot, B will still aim at A who is the best marksman. After b makes a move, c will still make a move. Whether A or B makes the first move, C is the safest. We might as well further assume that the shooting order is reversed and let C shoot first. So what? At this time, C can shoot both A and B. The best strategy is to shoot at random and don't hit anyone. In the next case, A will shoot at B. If A misses B, B will shoot at A, because it will put him in a favorable position in the next round. So C can sit back and watch the tigers fight. Through the example of shooter confrontation, we can see that whether a person can win in the game depends not only on his own strength, but also on the relationship between players due to the comparison of strength. Jingzhou has become a place where heroes from all walks of life compete, and every battlefield man wants this treasure. Therefore, it is well-deserved to call Jingzhou a battleground for military strategists. Liu Biao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan. They all held Jingzhou, showing the importance of its strategic position.

However, when everyone got Jingzhou, it was bound to be hit. Sun Quan took advantage of Guan Yu's Northern Expedition to attack Jingzhou in violation of the Covenant. Although later generations gave a high evaluation, it is not difficult to find that this is the beginning of the decline of Wu and Shu. In fact, the confrontation between the three countries is like the confrontation between three gunmen. Before Battle of Red Cliffs, the tripartite relationship was like this: Cao Cao was like gunner A, Sun Quan was gunner B, and Liu Bei was the worst gunner C. At that time, Sun Quan was the main force of Sun Liu's alliance against Cao Cao, and Battle of Red Cliffs defeated Cao Cao. At that time, Liu Bei's best strategy was to take the opportunity to develop himself and shoot indiscriminately. In Huarong Road, the Liu Group did not kill Cao Cao, but only considered the next situation: if Cao Cao died, Sun Quan would take the weakest Zuowei Liu as his only enemy. In this case, Liu has no chance of winning.

By the time Liu Bei occupied Sichuan and then captured Hanzhong, in essence, Liu Bei had changed from gunner C to gunner B, replacing gunner A Cao Cao. Sun Quan, who has fallen to gunner C, should not attack Liu Bei. His best strategy is to let Cao Liu confront himself, to repair the country and support the people, and to take the opportunity to strengthen himself. At this time, for Sun Quan, the capture of Jingzhou can temporarily enhance his own strength, but it cannot be held for a long time. When Liu Bei attacked Wu, Jingzhou gained and lost. To make matters worse, Sun and Liu became enemies and could not return to the relationship before Battle of Red Cliffs. Later, Zhuge Liang made many northern expeditions to Wu, but they were not well coordinated. If we were bent on attacking Cao and Wei at that time, the armored advantage of the machine gunner would definitely disappear. Even if Sima Yi had peerless talents, he would probably have to fight on two fronts. The failure of Sun Quan and Wu Dong Foundation was due to Sun Quan's failure to change and adjust his strategy, which led to a wrong war.

It can be said that this war directly affected the final outcome of the three countries. The situation of partition of the three countries is a gunman's game. The ultimate goal of the three countries is to unify the whole country, and the best strategy of the three countries should be to attack the strongest opponents first. For Wu and Shu, their strongest rivals are Wei, so they should all take Wei as the primary target. After Cao Cao destroyed Zhang Lu, he didn't attack Liu Bei further, because he was afraid that Sun Quan would outflank him behind his back. This shows Cao Cao's fear of the alliance between Sun and Liu. Here's the shooter's game. You must kill the opponent who poses the greatest threat to yourself in order to survive and gain an advantage in the next round of confrontation. Shu has almost been implementing a strategy to maintain peace or alliance with Soochow, compete with Wei for the Central Plains and "restore the Han Dynasty". Apart from the battle of Yiling, Shu never took the initiative to attack Wu. However, under such circumstances, Sun Quan violated the rules of the game, still obsessed with Jingzhou and expanded westward, which was an extremely wrong strategy and brought very serious consequences.

If you don't have enough strength, you can use your strength.

How to stand out from the fierce competition without strength and a killer weapon? The following case may inspire you. In the American salmon market, there are two main types of salmon, red salmon and pink salmon. The competition between them is very fierce, and it has been inseparable for many years.

At first, the sellers of pink salmon benefited a lot, and their popularity, sales volume and profits were better than those of red salmon. Therefore, pink salmon has always been the overlord, occupying most of the salmon market in the United States. In this regard, sockeye salmon sellers are very upset, reprimanding the sales staff for incompetence and issuing an adjustment period: "Give you 90 days to shorten this distance!"

After 90 days, red salmon really sells better than pink salmon. Sockeye salmon seller was overjoyed, and called all sales staff to know the situation, and the sales staff reported it truthfully. It turned out that they changed their self-boasting slogan before, and the external slogan was: "Authentic Norwegian salmon, guarantee no powder change!" Sockeye salmon sellers was amazed at this slogan and rewarded his subordinates. This is the leverage advantage. Instead of hitting the stone head-on, it is better to make a big fuss in the name of the other side and beat about the bush to make the sword slant. In the field of games, we should know how to "play by force". Sometimes, standing up for yourself can damage your strength. When their own strength is not enough to fight against each other, smart people are good at using other people's strength to deal with each other, protect themselves from harm, and make themselves secretly profitable. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao stood out in the crisis because he was good at leveraging strength. He pushed others to the front desk and manipulated himself behind the scenes, becoming the biggest beneficiary. After Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he fled Luoyang and went back to rectify the military forces. He joined forces with Yuan Shu's Yuan Shao, Kong Rong, Marten, Sun Jian and other 17-route governors to crusade against Dong Zhuo. Among these people, Cao Cao is powerful and should be the leader. But he took the initiative to be humble and gave the position of leader to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was willing to be the big head, and as a result, he was attacked on all sides in the competition, and his strength gradually weakened, and he was finally annexed by Cao Cao.

In this game, Cao Cao used his strength to destroy the situation, killing two birds with one stone, which not only hit Dong Zhuo, but also weakened Yuan Shao. Later, after Cao Cao went to Luoyang to destroy Dong Zhuo, he took Emperor Xian of Han as a puppet, the emperor as a vassal, and became the prime minister himself to crusade against all peoples. This is a means of leveraging strength. Similar to Cao Cao, there is Li Yuan. At the end of Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan was in no hurry to be king after he rose from Taiyuan. So he wrote a letter to Li Mi, the leader of the Wagang Army, which said, "Today, only you can be called the emperor, but I am old. I have no desire. I just want to be crowned Tang Palace, which is enough. I hope you can ascend the throne as soon as possible. " Li Mi was very happy after reading the book and said to the generals, "Tang Gong sees it, and the world can be decided." Since then, Shi Biao has trusted Li Yuan very much and often corresponded with him. Instead of fighting, the two sides concentrated on fighting the main forces of the Sui Dynasty. A few years later, Shi Biao wiped out the most elite troops in the Sui Dynasty, leaving only 20,000 people in his own team. This time, Tang Gaozu sent troops to take over the rest of Shi Biao as easy as blowing off dust. It is not easy to let others take the initiative to attack, but also to save yourself and profit from it. In the shopping mall, there are also many behaviors of leveraging strength. Facts have proved that using your strength can help you achieve great things. The development of Mengniu illustrates this point.

When Mengniu Dairy was first established, it was in a state of "three noes", and it was difficult to establish a foothold in Inner Mongolia, let alone the national development. On the grassland, Mengniu, with a capital of only 6.5438+0.3 million yuan, is just a small factory with the size of a "fingernail" compared with large enterprises such as Yili and Grassland Xingfa. And its rival, Yili, is already a strong brand in china dairy, but also the boss in Inner Mongolia. Mengniu, which has just started, is very weak. It is very difficult for Mengniu to start the market and share a piece of the milk market. At first, Mengniu's advertisements suffered a heavy blow: overnight, all the light box advertisements of Mengniu Dairy were smashed. Niu Gensheng, the boss of Mengniu, was very angry, but he calmed down and thought rationally, and came up with an idea to let Mengniu put out such advertisements: "Strive for the second brand of Inner Mongolia dairy industry", "Yili comes first, Mengniu comes second" and "Qianliguang leaps out from Yili Group, Xingfa Group and Mengniu Dairy Industry", all of which are marked with the names of peer brands.

Mengniu did this, which made many people puzzled. Since then, Mengniu's development path has been smooth sailing, and it has quickly entered the market and won the affirmation of consumers. In this way, with the help of the fame of other enterprises, an obscure small dairy enterprise stands out from the cruel game and becomes a well-known brand enterprise. Not all enterprises are Fortune 500, and not all people are strong. At least at the beginning, most enterprises are only small and medium-sized companies. For the weak, if they want to gain a foothold in the fierce competition, only with the help of others can they avoid a heavy blow, save themselves and finally win the game. The content of "borrowing" is varied, such as borrowing funds, talents, technology, trademarks and so on. Entrepreneurs have mastered the essence of "borrowing power" and there will be endless ways. As the saying goes, good wind depends on strength. If you don't know how to use leverage, even if you have strong strength, you can't be a winner. Lending is a wonderful strategy. Whether you borrow money or borrow money, even in the name of your opponent, as long as you borrow it properly and skillfully, it will help you win.

Watch the fire across the bank and sit quietly and watch the tiger fight.

When Qin Huiwang was in power, Han and Wei fought endlessly. Qin wants to mediate, but I don't know if he can benefit from it. So he called ministers to discuss the matter. Ministers also have different opinions. Qin Huiwang made up his mind. At this time, Chen Fu of Chu came to Qin. King Hui had long heard that Chen Fu was a clever and talented man, so he gave a banquet to pay tribute to him. King Hui asked, "Korea and Wei are fighting endlessly. I wonder if it is necessary to mediate between them. What do you think? "

Chen Yi didn't answer Hui Wang's question directly, but said, "Let me tell the king a story first. Once, Bian Zhuangzi and his servant were on the road and found two tigers fighting for a dead cow. Bian Zhuangzi drew his sword and tried to stab the tiger, but was stopped by the boy servant. Bian Zhuangzi was very angry and scolded the boy, saying, "It's now or never. Why did you stop me? The boy said,' Master, calm down. In order to own this cow, two tigers must fight with each other. The result of the fight must be that the tiger with little strength is killed and the tiger with great strength is injured. Then, if you kill the injured tiger again, wouldn't it be easier to get two tigers? "As the boy servant said. Compare Han and Wei to two tigers. They are fighting. Although it is tied for a while, one day a country will fail and a country will decline. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone to send troops again at this time? " King Hui couldn't help marveling, breaking the glass and praising again and again: "Good! All right! This is called sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. " This is also the case. Later, South Korea failed and Wei won, but its strength was greatly reduced. Qin took the opportunity to attack Wei, won the victory, and gained many territories of South Korea and Wei. This is the story of "Sit and watch the tiger fight". In the elaboration of the military strategist, it is also called "watching the fire from the other side." Watching the fire from the other side of the bank and sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is to sit tight and let the enemy split, intensify contradictions, compete with each other and kill each other. Once the time is ripe, we should change "sitting and watching" into "attacking" and aim at winning and benefiting. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shaobing was defeated and killed, and several sons fought for power and profit. Cao Cao decided to take this opportunity to wipe out yuan brothers in one fell swoop. Yuan Shang and Yuan brothers defected to Wuhuan, and Cao Cao immediately invaded Wuhuan; Later, Wu Huan was defeated by Cao Cao, and the Yuan brothers who lost their umbrellas defected to Gongsun Kang, the satrap of Liaodong. Knowing the whereabouts of the Yuan brothers, Cao Cao's generals immediately advised Cao Cao to keep the momentum, subdue Liaodong and seize Er Yuan. After listening to the generals, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Don't worry, Gongsun Kang will automatically send Er Yuan's head to the door." All the soldiers were very surprised to hear this.

Cao Cao did not explain, ordered the troops to return to Xuchang, and sent eyeliner to find out the situation in Liaodong. Gongsun Kang, the prefect of Liaodong, was hesitant when he learned of Er Yuan's rebellion. Because both Yuan's father and son have ambitions to seize Liaodong, if Er Yuan is taken in, it will leave future trouble for themselves. However, if Cao Cao attacks Liaodong, taking Er Yuan in can enhance his strength against Cao Cao. So Gongsun Kang was deeply embarrassed about the future of yuan brothers. In a dilemma, the spies returned Cao Cao's withdrawal from Xuchang and had no intention of marching into Liaodong. Gongsun Kang was overjoyed and thought it would be harmful to take Er Yuan in.

So he set an ambush, captured Eryuan in one fell swoop and beheaded his head. Cao Cao sent to see him, and when he saw that everything was as Cao Cao expected, he asked Cao Cao why. Cao Cao smiled and said to the generals, "Gongsun Kang has always been afraid that Yuan would annex him. If Yuan comes to the door, he will get suspicious. If we are in a hurry to fight, it will lead them to unite to resist. Now that we have retreated, they will fight with each other. Sure enough, I expected it. " Hearing this, all the generals bowed down.

If you want to win, you must not rush it. Instead of fighting endlessly with people and causing strong resistance, it is better to let opponents attack each other and weaken each other. It's different to stand by and watch the fire and wait passively. Instead, it is necessary to respond in time, fully grasp the situation of competitors, and accelerate the transformation of both sides in order to succeed. At the end of the Warring States Period, the famous Qin soldier Bai Qi wiped out 400,000 troops of Zhao in the First World War of Changping, successively captured 17 city, and pushed the capital of Zhao to Handan, which was about to break the sun. At this critical moment, Su Dai, a public guest in Ping Yuanjun, proposed a plan to the Prince of Zhao, willing to go to the State of Qin to relieve his anxiety. After consulting with his ministers, the Prince of Zhao accepted Su Dai's suggestion. Su Dai went to Yinghou House in Xianyang with a generous gift and met with Yinghou Fan Ju Su Dai. He said to Fan Ju, "An Jun of Wu fought in Changping for a long time, and now he is as powerful as Handan. He is the number one hero of Qin's unification of the world. But Duke, I'm worried about you! I'm afraid you'll have to be lower than it in the future.

More importantly, Tian Lei is not easy to get along with. "Su Dai words Fan Ju was silent. After a long time, Fan Ju asked Su Dai what to do. Said softly, "Zhao is very weak. It's easy to win, so there's no need to hurry. It is better to persuade the king of Qin to make peace temporarily, so that Wu Anjun can be deprived of his military power, and the duke need not worry about Wu Anjun's threat. " Fan Ju was overjoyed. He immediately said to the king of Qin, "The soldiers and horses have been fighting for a long time and need a rest. Let's call a truce and let Zhao cede territory for peace. On the one hand, it can raise soldiers, on the other hand, it can alleviate the situation of tight funds in Qin Jun. " The king of Qin agreed. As a result, Zhao gave it to six cities and the two countries went on strike. The king of Qin ordered Tian Lei to transfer troops, and Tian Lei was very unhappy. When he knew that this was Fan Ju's suggestion, he felt even more uncomfortable. Two years later, when the king of Qin sent his troops to attack Zhao again, it happened that Tian Lei was ill, so he sent the tomb to lead a hundred thousand troops to attack Zhao. At this point, Zhao has used veteran Lian Po, and Zhao's defense line has become solid, which has been entrenched for a long time.

The news returned to Xianyang before the battle. The king of Qin was furious and decided to let Tian Lei go to war. The disease of leitian has been cured. After receiving the phone call, Bai Qi advised the king of Qin: "Lian Po, commander-in-chief of the State of Zhao, is proficient in strategy, not Zhao Kuo in those days; Moreover, the two countries have made peace, and if Qin attacks Zhao, it will violate the promise to the princes. So, it's hard to win this time. Step "

The king of Qin thought, indeed. However, this tone could not be swallowed anyway, so he sent Fan Ju to mobilize Tian Lei. Tian Lei heard that Fan Ju was coming, so he pretended to be ill and didn't talk to Fan Ju. Fan Ju had to truthfully report to the king of Qin. The king of Qin was somewhat helpless and said, "Is there no general in Qin except Bai Qi?" So the tomb was sent to attack Handan for five months, but it still didn't come down. So the king of Qin put leitian in command again, pretending to be ill and unwilling to take his life. Finally, the king of Qin was furious, cut Tian Lei's official position and drove him out of Xianyang. At this time, Fan Ju said to the king of Qin, "Tian Lei bears a grudge. If you let him go to other countries, it will be a disaster for Qin. " The king of Qin quickly sent someone to chase Tian Lei and gave him a throat. After Tian Lei died, Zhao Guojun and his ministers applauded and cheered. Watching the fire across the bank, there must always be fire. When Tian Lei besieged Handan, there was no "fire" in the State of Qin, so Su Dai lit a "fire" and created civil strife in the State of Qin, which led to discord between civil servants and military forces. It not only ensured that it was free from genocide, but also eliminated the "enemy" of Zhao. Every battle is inevitably hurt, and every game is inevitably won or lost. In the struggle, we should know how to avoid losses. In the game, we should stay away from unnecessary disputes. Instead of falling into the whirlpool of struggle, it is better to sit still and watch the tigers fight, and the fishermen will benefit.

The market is beautiful in persimmons, and the wind destroyed it.

Li Gang, Ren Wei of the Three Kingdoms, wrote in "The Theory of Destiny": "The wood in the forest is beautiful, and the wind will destroy it; Stacked on the shore, the water will be rushing, and the pedestrians will be higher than people. Everyone is wrong. " Li Kang's "The Theory of Destiny" mainly discusses the relationship between national chaos control and individual scholars, with special emphasis on "a good tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind". Both countries and individuals should pay attention to this problem. The final conclusion of the shooter game also shows that the best people are often the most vulnerable. Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft. As early as middle school, he compiled a system for the school and earned $4,200. As the leader of the younger generation. He has always been a scholar in the Woods. Before graduating from college, Bill Gates went out to start a business. He looked for opportunities and made 70 billion wealth for himself in just 20 years. This is no ordinary scholar. Maybe it's too outstanding. Later, someone accused Microsoft of violating the anti-monopoly law, and Bill Gates was formally charged by a federal judge. Affected by the "monopoly case", Microsoft's share price fell 15%. In just one day, Bill Gates, who owns 0/5% of Microsoft1200 million dollars. There is an old saying: "Beauty is unlucky since ancient times." A person's talent is too outstanding, which will inevitably make people jealous. If it is too conspicuous, it is easy to be hit by others. Smart people know how to hide their strength and not let themselves be too dazzling. The so-called wealth can't be revealed, just as wealth can't be easily revealed. Once you perform too well and get too much praise, you will attract others' jealousy.

There is a story in "everything is done by Han Feizi in the forest": Zi Feizi introduced Confucius to Taizai in the Song Dynasty. After Confucius came out, Zi Cong went in and asked Osamu Dazai what he thought of the guests. Taizai said, "I have seen Confucius, and now you are as small as fleas and lice." I'll take him to the king now. Fearing that Confucius would be favored by the king, Zi Rong said to Taizai, "When the king sees Confucius, he will treat you as a flea and a louse. "Therefore, Taizai didn't take Confucius to the King of Song." The beauty of wood in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. "Too much too brilliant is not necessarily a good thing. In a dark corner, there are always a handful of people staring at you, trying to fool you. They have nothing to do with you, just because they are jealous, they will not fight you openly, but often stab you in the back.

Tan Daoji is very brave and resourceful, and he is the most feared warrior in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Song valued him very much before his death. When he died, he entrusted Tandaoji to work well for his son Liu Yilong. Song Wendi and Liu Yilong succeeded to the throne, and Tan Daoji assisted Liu Yilong's rebellion in Waiping, and made a national policy by default. Tan Daoji has made great contributions to the great cause of Liu Song, and his reputation is getting heavier and heavier. His left and right confidants are invincible, and his sons are all brilliant, which aroused the suspicion of the court. At that time, Wendi was ill for a long time, and Liu Yikang, the king of Pengcheng who was in charge of state affairs, and Liu Zhan, the general, were worried that it would be difficult to control Tan Daoji after Wendi's death, so they slandered Wendi many times and advised him to get rid of Tan Daoji as soon as possible to avoid future troubles. In 436 AD, Tan Daoji returned to Beijing by a letter. Before leaving, the wife said to her family, "If you are famous, you will be jealous. This has been the case since ancient times. The imperial court has nothing to call now, and my husband's trip is probably a disaster. " Tan Daoji said: "I led my troops to resist foreign invasion, defend the frontier and fail the country. How can my country let me down? Tan Daoji calmly entered Beijing. Just when Wendi's condition improved, Wendi summoned Tan Daoji out of bed and told him to go back to the border and deal with the border defense with his heart. Tan Daoji was about to leave when Wendi's illness got worse.

At this time, Liu Zhan advised Liu Yikang not to release the tiger to the mountain, so he killed Tan Daoji in the name of buying people's hearts and plotting evil. At the same time, he also executed his eleven sons and some subordinate generals. He is so outstanding that he is often envied. Talents need soil and protection. In the field of games, people are eager for talents, but they often don't cherish them. For talents, if they can be used by me, they will be guaranteed; If it can't be used by me or poses a threat to me, it will often be ruthlessly removed. During the Three Kingdoms period, in order to suppress the Huns, Cao Cao divided the Huns into five parts and appointed Liu Bao as the commander-in-chief of the left part. Liu Bao has a son named Liu Yuan, who is handsome and ambitious at a young age. When Liu Yuan grew up, he was both civil and military, tall and long-armed, good at archery, and stronger than ordinary people.

Later, Liu Yuan was sent to the Western Jin Dynasty as a hostage. In Jin Dynasty, there was an official named Wang Ji, who valued Liu Yuan very much and recommended him to Emperor Wu of Jin for many times. Emperor Wu of Jin summoned Liu Yuan, and Liu Yuan fell in love with him greatly. Wang Ji said to Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, "Liu Yuan is both civil and military, and talented people come forth in large numbers. Your majesty entrusted the southeast to pacify Wu, which is not enough to show his talents. " However, Jin officials Kong Xun and Yang Huan said, "There are very few talents in Liu Yuan, but we can't attach importance to him. He is not my race, so he is bound to hesitate with us, so he has to give up. Later, when Liangzhou fell, Emperor Wu of Jin asked Minister Li Yi who would save Liangzhou. Li Yi replied: "If your majesty can give Liu Yuan the name of a general and let him lead the Xiongnu to the Western Expedition, it won't be long before the rebel leader Shu Gong's head." At this time, the official Kong Xun said: "If Liu Yuan shows the tree head work to the public, then the disaster in Liangzhou will be even deeper." Emperor Wu of song focused, or not appointed Liu Yuan. In this way, Liu Yuan once again lost the opportunity to display his talents. Liu Yuan is helpless, but also has a sense of crisis. He knew that the reason why he was not promoted was actually the result of a power game. On one occasion, Liu Yuan said to his good friend Wang Mi, "Wang Ji, Li Yi and my fellow villagers all know me very well. They often recommend me to Emperor Wu of Jin, which worries me. "In Liu Yuan's view, the recommendation of these two people not only can't help themselves, but will bring disaster to themselves. Later, Sima You, King of Qi, learned of Liu Yuan's feelings, told the Emperor Wu of Jin what Liu Yuan had said, and said to the Emperor Wu of Jin, "If your majesty does not get rid of Liu Yuan, I'm afraid Bing will have no peace. Since it can't be used by me, kill him. "Wang Hun heard that Liu Yuan was going to be killed and resolutely opposed it. He said: "My Jin Dynasty is currently trying to appease the aliens with faith. Why did you kill the prince who entered the DPRK on an invisible suspicion? Is this the magnanimity of a big country? " Emperor Wu of Jin thought that Wang Hun was right and released Liu Bao. After his death, Emperor Wu of Liu sent Liu Yuan home. Liu Yuan ascended the throne and became the left governor of Xiongnu. Soon, Liu Yuan became king. Later, his son Liu Cong acceded to the throne and destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty. His nephew Liu Yao acceded to the throne and moved the capital to Chang 'an. Thus, the "Five Chaos in China" period in which ethnic minorities took turns to occupy the Central Plains was started, which caused the turmoil in the Central Plains 100 years. The history of 5,000 years tells us that only by paying attention to the golden mean and knowing how to preserve our sanity can we get ahead. Even if you show your talent unintentionally, it may lead to criticism from the world. This kind of criticism often stems from jealousy and fear of villains, fearing that others will surpass their status.

So people should know how to hide their own strength, hide their own strength.

Shoot the horse first, catch the king first.

When solving problems, we only need to grasp the key and solve the main contradiction, and other details can be solved easily. Because only by grasping the key can we grasp the overall situation in depth. In the battle between the two armies, if the enemy commander is captured or killed, the rest of the troops will be defeated without fighting. This is the strategy of "catching thieves and capturing the king" in Sun Tzu's Art of War. Catch the thief and capture the king, from the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu's "Six Blessings before Going Out": "Bow should be used vigorously, and arrow should be used for a long time. Flatter the horse first, catch the thief first. " To catch the thief and capture the king is to kill the enemy leader or destroy the enemy headquarters, so that the enemy is in chaos and finally completely defeated. In modern society, it is also a wise strategy to catch thieves and kings. After working as a secretary for five years, Mr. Li went to a department as a director. There are eight people in that department, only one director and no deputy director.

Before he came, he thought, with so many years of secretarial experience, it is not a trivial matter to manage seven people. However, after arriving, it was discovered that this small official was not good. It turns out that this department is a backward department, and all seven subordinates are slack, and everyone is late for work at ordinary times. Although the office has set up an attendance system and will be fined for being late, no one takes it seriously. In his first few days in office, Mr. Li could only watch his subordinates slouching in and out of the office. He really wanted to scold a few words, but then he thought, if things really get stiff, it will be difficult to step down for such a long time. Thought of here, he forbear, secretly observe the movement of the office. As a result, he found that there was a "little leader" among these subordinates. This "little leader" has strong business, old qualifications, high loyalty and good popularity. The other six people act according to his face.

Knowing this situation, Mr. Li had an idea. One day after work, Mr. Li specially invited the "little leader" to dinner. The "little leader" reluctantly accepted the invitation and drank three rounds, and the words of "little leader" increased. He said, "You must have something to see me, right? Mr. Li said sincerely, "I saw it when I first came. My brothers in the department listen to you. "I just want to ask you for help, let everyone go to work more actively, and my work can be easily completed. As for me, I will speak for you in front of the boss and give you more opportunities. " "Little Leader" nodded and said, "OK, how can I help you?" Teacher Li is also not at all polite. He said frankly, "I will emphasize the discipline of attendance at the department meeting tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, if you are intentionally late 10 minutes, I will punish you 10 yuan. Just accept it. " Say, take out 10 yuan and give it to the "little leader".

The "little leader" thought for a moment and said, "I will help on the third day. If "Little Leader" is late 10 minute, Mr. Li will be fined according to regulations 10 yuan. "Little ringleader" paid the fine in a proper way. This scene is in the eyes of everyone in the department. From then on, nothing like this happened again. At the end of the year, the department was also rated as "advanced collective". Instead of fighting with a large group of people, it would be much easier to find the "head" among them and subdue it. In ancient times, when the two armies confronted each other, the position of the enemy commander was relatively easy to determine. However, it does not rule out that when the enemy loses, the enemy commander-in-chief will dress up in disguise, which will make people unrecognizable for a while. During the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan was arrogant and won many battles. Once, An Lushan sent Yin to lead hundreds of soldiers to attack Suiyang. At that time, Yu Shichong was stationed in Suiyang and held fast to Yingcheng. Enemy soldiers attacked the city for more than 20 times and were repelled. Seeing that the soldiers were exhausted, Yin had to give up his troops temporarily. In the evening, Yin's people were about to have a rest when they suddenly heard the drums rumbling above the city and the shouts were loud. Yin urged the troops to prepare for the battle quickly. However, after waiting for a long time, no one left the city. Zhang Xun "only thunders and doesn't rain", but he beats drums from time to time. Yin's troops tossed around all night, and everyone was very tired. Some soldiers even fell asleep on the ground. At this time, the city only heard a gunshot, Zhang Xun suddenly led the troops to fight. Yin's army panicked and made a mess. Zhang Xun went all out to kill more than 50 enemy generals. Zhang Xun got the military orders and immediately caught the enemy leader Yin. But he has never seen the shadow, and the enemy is in chaos, which is even more difficult to distinguish.

So Zhang Xun had a plan to let the soldiers sharpen the straw and shoot at the enemy. Many people were surprised to find that they were hit by an arrow of straw after being shot by an arrow, thinking that there were no arrows in Zhang Xun's army. Report to Yin in a hurry. In this way, the yin was exposed. Zhang Xun urgently ordered the archers and the Ministry to shoot arrows at Yin from Nan Jiyun. An arrow hit Yin's left eye, and Yin was bleeding profusely. The commander-in-chief was injured, the army was in chaos and fled in the confrontation. Grasping the main commander or key of the other side can save time and effort and quickly defeat the opponent.

If you often watch football, you will find that the people who are often knocked down by the opposing players are often football stars. It is normal for the team leader to be besieged, which can weaken the opponent's strength and contain the opponent's star players. This is a game strategy. Game with people, can not be satisfied with small victories, but should look at the overall situation, seize the opportunity to catch thieves and capture the king. If we miss the opportunity and let the enemy's main force and leader go, it will be like releasing the tiger to the mountain, and there will be endless future troubles.
